  1. Astra: I walk around the bustling market place. Everyone seems to be in a rush with the exception of a casually dressed man who is standing at a corner examining his latest buys. I approach him to try my luck at finding Hilon Industries’ South Branch.

    1. Astra:
      As you approach this man, you notice that he seemed to be in a worried state.
      “Oh no! Where is it?” said the well-dressed gentleman franticly.
      Then, he noticed you staring at him. He immediately ask, “Young miss, have you noticed a red card with a chain strap onto it? I think I drop it somewhere.”
      Mission: Help this gentleman find his card. Use your observing skills (Intelligence) to find the card.
      [OOC] This means you have to roll the dice. Don’t forget to send me a screenshot of the result of online dice!

        1. Wow, you manage to find the card! It was in his left pocket of his trench coat.
          And you immediately pointed up to him.

          “Oh thanks young lady. My what would have done if I lost this. I wouldn’t be able to go home!”
          He puts the chain around his neck, so that he won’t lose it again.
          “You don’t seem from around here as well. I mean, most human here dress quite extravagantly”
          “I’m new here as well, my family just moved here. So I’m not that familiar with Bemucer, so if I had lost this card, I wouldn’t be able to go back to the city”
          Suddenly, some of his groceries was falling down.
          “Oh dear!” Both of you had quick reaction and manage to catch it.
          You saw some fish and a variety of seafood.
          “Oh it’s for my shop you see. I’m a sushi chef. I just opened a shop in the city. Perhaps you want drop by for an early lunch? — But, you seemed to be in a hurry. Is there anything I could help to show you my gratitude?”

          1. Seeing that the man is willing to help me out, I raised the question which made me approach him in the first place. I ask him to direct me to the destination.
            [OOC] Do I have to roll a dice?

          2. “Hmm. I can’t say I’ve seen the place here” said the main with a doubtful tone.
            “Ah, but wait” He pull out his cell phone.
            “I forgot that I downloaded Bemucer’s map in my phone. How silly of me. Let see now.”
            Suddenly virtual projection came out of his phone.
            “Oh hear it is. It’s no that far from hear. Actually, it might be better if I gave you the whole map. Hand me your phone to me”
            Astra gives him her phone.
            “Okay done.” returning Astra phone to her. “This way you can go around Bemucer without getting lost.”
            “Have a nice day dear. And thanks again!” he shouted as he walks away from her.

            Astra opens her phone and starts walking towards Hilon Industries building.

  2. Ted: I am feeling rather tired as I did not had a good night rest. The bed from the inn I am staying is terrible! To make the experience much worse, the inn does not provide any breakfast. I have come to the market to find food to fill my stomach before going to Hilon Industries’ South Branch. Everything else can wait but not my hunger. A store right next to the United Space Union Bank, selling space whale breakfast sets looks really good. Time to eat! I walk up to the store to buy the 2 for 1 special promotion set. The store owner, a corgi looking creature with rabbit ears, passes me my long awaited breakfast after I paid for them with my remaining space nuggets. While chewing on my space whale burger I decide to ask him about the direction to Hilon Industries’ South Branch.

    1. Ted: Hmm, a good plan but it seems that the Leporidae (the human like rabbit) is quite busy at the moment.
      “Could ya give me a sec?” said Jack with an annoying voice. He walks away from you and shuts the door close. But as he turn away, the door blast open!
      “Ugh! This been the fifth time! What’s the matter with this door?” grunted the frustrated Leporidae. And he shuts it again, hoping for it not to open.
      However, “Brakk!”, his actions was in vain.
      As Jack the waiter heads toward the door, you noticed a somewhat almost “invisible” little creature walked pass Jack big rabbit feet. That creature settles under the table next to you. You also noticed this creature slight change of color as it tries to blend in with the environment. You’re convinced that this creature is the culprit, as it also giggled seeing a frustrated Jack.
      Mission: Use your quick hands (Agility) to catch this little fellow! You might win over Jack if you catch the culprit who has been pranking him all morning.
      [OOC] This means you have to roll the dice. Don’t forget to send me a screenshot of the result of online dice!

  3. Ted: ” What an asshole,” I thought to myself. I look at the creature giggling away at what he had done and decides it is time to teach him a lesson. I should probably mind my own business and stay out of all these small nitty gritty stuff. However, it is early in the morning and I need some warm up exercises. “Too bad you ran into me,” I said as I dash towards the creature hoping to catch him off guarded. From the corner of my eyes I notice an Unibucks cafe. “Gonna get some hot bubble rainbow cappuccino when I am done with you,” I said to myself.

    1. Too bad. The little creature was a bit too fast, and you hit your head on the corner of the table!

      “Ouch!” you scream in pain.
      As the little fellow tries to scurry away, “Aha!” Jack manages to catch him.
      “So your the one whose been messing with me all day, huh?” said Jack holding up the invisible creature.
      Suddenly the creature revealed itself. A tiny little chameleon quivering upside-down as Jack holds his tail.
      To your surprise it started to cry hysterically.
      “Okay, now, sush . . sush” as Jack tries to calm down the little fellow. Apparently this huge Leporidae got a soft side in him.
      The big rabbit puts him down and said “Go find your mother and don’t come back until the shops closes.”
      The little chameleon nods his head while drying off his tears. And off he goes to the back of the kitchen.

      Jack sees you sitting while rubbing your head (in pain). He snorts and said “That’s what you get trying to catch a Chamaeleonidae.”
      He fixes up the place and sits next to you.
      “He’s the Missus son you see. And he enjoys fooling me around. But never in a billion years I would have a soft spot for little kids. Then again I would never thought that I’d be settling down either.” pointing out his ring finger while you rub your head with the ice left from your drink.

      “Say, I heard you were asking for directions to some place. Which place was it again?”

  4. Ted: “Hilon Industries’ South Branch, do you know how to get there my friend?” I asked while throwing away the useless ice that could not stop the pain on my head. [OOC} Do I roll a dice?

      1. “Hilon eh? I’ve known there’s one in the City. But I’ve never seen one around here” said jack while rubbing his furry chin.
        “It’s the new black shiny building, a few blocks away from Mr. Rugoss’ place” a sudden reply from little Vetra, who clearly did not obey his step-father’s order.
        “The butcher?” Jack replied while ignoring the fact that the little chameleon disobeyed him.
        “Oh” Jack added on “That new construction sight? Well, I’ve never been there, but I’ve known that the government is rebuilding that whole neighborhood. It’s at the farthest South, almost at the edge of Bemucer.”
        Jack then looks at Vetra with a cunning look “Perhaps you can show this find gentleman the way Vetra. As a way to show sorry after the pain that you cause him.”
        “It’s not my fault that he chased me”
        “Hmm?” Jack gave a glaring look, and Vetra immediately replied “Okay, Okay”
        Vetra pulled your arm, “Come on mister, I’ll show you the way”
        You almost tripped, because the little chameleon was pulling you so hard.
        As both of you left the diner. Jack remarked “Finally, some piece and quite”
